You can catch one of the local Dunedin buses to Corstorphine on route 32, 33, 34, 35 or 36. It will drop you off at the corner of Middleton Road and Stenhope Crescent where it is about 30 minutes walk to the start of the Tunnel Beach Walk.
-- About this video --
Today we are checking out a popular New Zealand beach that is not to be missed when visiting Dunedin! Tunnel Beach is one of the most famous beaches in New Zealand so it’s a Dunedin must do!
We are joined by a fellow backpacker as we take the bus from Dunedin’s Octagon out to Tunnel Beach. Here, it’s a 30 minute one way walk on the Tunnel Beach Walk to the wave eroded cliffs of Tunnel Beach where you can see archways, waterfalls and steep white cliffs. What’s more, we see exactly where the name comes from as we access the beach through a manmade tunnel.
Tunnel Beach is best accessed at low tide to get onto the beach itself. Otherwise, the scenery from atop the cliffs is still an awesome sight in Dunedin.
So what do you think of Tunnel Beach in Dunedin? Would you add it to your Dunedin travel itinerary? LUK in the comments!

Dunedin – Between the wild coastline of the Otago Peninsula and a dormant volcano, discover this historic New Zealand city. Explore the best places to visit in Dunedin.
When ready, browse vacation packages to Dunedin:
The industrious Scots made their mark all over New Zealand, but nowhere is the Caledonian spirit more alive than in #Dunedin. A #vacation here may begin in the city center’s historic plaza, The Octagon. New Zealand’s most photographed building, Dunedin Railway Station, is nearby. Just up the tracks, venture back in time at the Toitū Otago Settlers Museum. The Otago Museum is just across town.
Head into the peninsula’s hills to Larnach Castle. Further up the peninsula is the Ōtākou Marae, the hub of Ngāi Tahu cultural life. #Visit St Clair Beach, a popular summertime hangout for generations of Dunedinites. In Dunedin’s North, see rare Yellow Eyed Penguins at Shag Point. Marvel at the mysterious Moeraki Boulders at Hampden.
There’s no limit to the fun and adventure to be had in Dunedin. Start planning a trip of your own!
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

St Clair Beach Dunedin New Zealand
As someone from the Caribbean, I am certainly not unaccustomed to beaches. Why St. Clair was so fascinating is because the waves were just so large - unlike anything I've ever seen. It was a very cold morning but very beautiful.
St Clair Beach Dunedin, New Zealand
A classic blue sky day here in Dunedin, New Zealand. Filmed on Tuesday the 25th of June 2019 in the middle of what has been a surprisingly lovely winter. We thought we would see if any surfers are brave enough to catch a wave or two? We found one hearty soul! Conditions looked blustery out there. Word on the street is surfing conditions will be better in a few days. Most of the shots in the video are filmed at St Clair Beach and the esplanade, as the sun started to set, the views toward the end of the video are from St Kilda Beach and up toward John Wilson Ocean drive and Lawyers Head.

Breathtaking Tunnel Beach For The First Time 4k Drone - Dunedin New Zealand
Here is how to / how I travel through New Zealand. Things I've never seen that will make you want to travel. Pay zero dollars for the things you need to know in the world. Time is valuable so follow me as I blissfully spotlight the wonderful dangers of this absolutely attractive awesome beautiful country.
Getting down this hill was a stroll, hiking back up... I needed to be in a stroller. Very cool destination. First beach I've ever been to that has its own tunnel in the rock to get down to the water. From there you have sea level views of the giant rock formations and realize how small we are in this world.

Tunnel Beach Dunedin (New Zealand) (4K)
The only way onto this secluded little beach near Dunedin is down a tunnel stairway carved out of the rock cliff that surrounds it..... Not for the faint hearted, the walk back up from the Beach is a good fitness test.

Dunedin Beach Track and Penguin Watch | Dunedin, New Zealand~
New Zealand's little piece of Scottish heritage lies in the South Island. Dunedin (named after the Gaelic name for Edinburgh: Dun Edin) was founded by Presbyterian Scottish immigrants, and that legacy can still be proudly felt today. Small and extremely hilly - the city lays claim to the steepest residential street in the world - Dunedin is tucked into the inner corner of Otago Harbour's wild and windswept coastline with rugged beaches, raw clifftop landscapes, and even the world's only mainland colony of royal albatross, right on the city's doorstep. The town center itself is compact and easily navigated on foot with many fine examples of late 19th-century architecture still well preserved.
Thanks for watching.

Dunedin and The Otago Peninsula
Episode 029 - Dunedin is the second-largest city in New Zealand’s South Island. Known for its Scottish heritage, Victorian architecture, and a large student population, Dunedin is also home to the country’s best wifi! The highlights of Dunedin include the historic Dunedin railway station in Anzac Square, beautiful St. Clair Beach, and the popular Tunnel Beach.
Historic Train Station
As we explored the mosaics of this beautiful train station, we met a local photographer who asked if he could take some photos for a local advertisement. Check us out in his video (skip ahead to 56 seconds!), as adventureViV and CameraMan walk hand-in-hand under the colorful, autumn leaves.
St. Clair Beach is a lovely beach and popular amongst residents and tourists! It’s a great spot for swimming, surfing, and general people watching.
Tunnel Beach is a secluded beach that was once inaccessible to all. However, this hand-hewn tunnel was built in the 1870s, as a gift from John Cargill to his daughters. Awesome gift, right?! (Hint hint, CameraMan…!)
Otago Peninsula: Wildlife Capital of New Zealand
The Otago Peninsula is home to an abundance of magnificent wildlife, including The Royal Albatross, the endangered Yellow-Eyed Penguin, Little Blue Penguins, NZ Fur Seals, NZ Sea Lions, and more! Watch to see just how cute the Little Blue Penguins are as they come ashore to nest for the evening.
Harbour Cone, The Chasm, and Lovers Leap
A number of walkways give you access to many breathtaking views and sheer cliff faces like The Chasm and Lovers Leap. The top of Harbour Cone, climbing to 315 meters or just over 1000 feet above sea level, can be reached by foot from several places.
Moeraki Boulders
Driving up the coast from Dunedin to Oamaru, you have to stop and check out the Moeraki Boulders! What an incredible sight - spherical boulders that look like dinosaur or alien eggs. The CameraMan is convinced that we are not alone. The truth is out there!
Stay tuned for next week’s episode, where we show you magnificent footage of Mt. Cook / Aoraki!
SHOUTOUTS: We didn’t have any shoutouts in this episode, but YOU can change that! If you want a shoutout, all you have to do is buy the CameraMan a cheap beer -
Curious about what a day in the office looks like for adventureViV & CameraMan? CHECK THIS OUT: We made a promotional video for adventure company 'Across Country Quad Bikes'! Oh, and another one coming soon featuring adventureViV in hot tubs...
For all of you GADGET GEEKS: Interested in getting a drone but hesitant to drop $$$$$ and crash it? We recommend getting a CHEAP drone first ( so you can practice with it, crash it, and get a good feel for flying before investing in a pricier drone!
